SL 2 does not compress MPG4 video

Sep 24, 2014

Hi there,

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but when I import a MPG4 video of 400 Mb it remains 400 Mb when published, despite the fact if I put the compression to automatic.

Anybody having the same problem? A bug or a mistake on my behalf?

Thanks for sharing!

Hi John,

It actually does but you can turn compression on and off. This is what Articulate has to say about it:

  1. Compression: Choose Automatic from the drop-down to have Storyline compress your video files when you publish your course. Choose None if you'd prefer not to compress your video files. Video quality may be higher by not compressing videos in your published output, but it also results in larger files. (This feature is only available for MP4 videos created with baseline, main, or high profiles. All other video files will be compressed when published.)
